This extremely elegant plant is one of the commonest as well as most ornamental productions on open exposed
situations in the mountains which surround the valley of Nipal. It blossoms during the cold part of the year, from
the month of January until March. The flowers are of a pale lilac colour, with a yellow dise; the radius changing

sometimes into nearly white.

I believe I shall not be considered as deviating materially from the original plan of this work, if I occasionally give
a plate of a plant which, although published before, has not hitherto been figured. “The present and the preceding
elegant plants are instances of this description, which will not often occur. I possess eight other species of this
curious Melastomaceous genus, of which I am happy to announce that Mr. Brown has kindly undertaken to give a
synopsis, in a work shortly to be presented by him to the world. | |

I have nothing to add to the description of Sonerila squarrosa which I published in 1820 in Roxburgh's Flora
Indica.

The accompanying plate represerits the plant which was introduced in 1815 into the Calcutta Garden from Sillet.
That which grows in Nipal differs in some respect, having the leaves broader, of an ovate-cordate form, and in bein
more villous. But as the flowers are exactly alike, and as the other Indian species vary considerably, I have thought

it best not to add to the difficulties of the genus by separating the two shrubs. “The flowers are generally produced

in clusters along the woody and naked parts of the stem and branches ; sometimes quite low down towards the ground,
whence is derived the otherwise very inappropriate name of Ground-Plumbago, which the plant bears in Sillet.
They are of a curious form, and not void of elegance, although their smell is extremely offensive.

Besides this plant I am acquainted with the following East Indian species of Aristolochia.

A. indica, Linn.

A native of the plains of Hindustan. I have also found it in Pegu about Rangoon. It blossoms and produces fruit
during the rainy season.

A. acuminata, Lam.

This very variable plant grows wild in many places of Bengal, such as Sillet, Chittagong, &c. I have found it
likewise in the island of Penang, on mountains ; on the banks of the Irawaddi, and of the rivers in Martaban : also at
the foot of the mountain called Taong Dong near Ava. It blossoms and ripens its fruit throughout the year.

A. bracteata, Retz.

A native of Coromandel. “The late Dr. Hamilton gathered it on the banks of the Jumna, in Upper Hindustan.

This noble forest tree grows to a gigantic size. Its timber is used by the inhabitants of Nipal for rafters, beams,
and similar building purposes. It is of comparatively slow growth, the trees in the Botanic Garden at Calcutta, reared
from seeds sent down from Nipal by Dr. Hamilton in 1802, being scarcely larger than those of Acer oblongum, which
were introduced many years afterwards. This last species differs in having perfectly entire, glaucous, and opaque
leaves, and by its less gigantic size.

This Maple grows in the middle range of the mountains which confine the whole extent of Hindustan to the
northward. It is common in Nipal; and I have likewise found it on the hills about Deyra Dhoon. In Kamaon,

A. caudatum et pectinatum, Wall. in Herbario Coetüs Amplissimi Mercatorum Anglicorum India Orientalis, 1824.

A native of the highest regions of Nipal towards Gossain Than. It has also been found in Sirmore by Dr. Govan :
and at Kamaon and Srinaghur by R. Blinkworth. It ripens its fruit and begins to blossom in November. The
specimens from Kamaon differ somewhat from the others in having less compound serratures, and in the fruit. being
larger ; and this led me, at first, to consider them as two distinct species.

A native of the regions towards the Himalaya, in Kamaon and Srinaghur, Kamrup and Blinkworih. It is a large
tree, and appears to be allied to Thunberg's A. pictum.

A native of high Alps, approaching towards those of perpetual snow in Sirmore and Kamaon ; Kamrup and Blink-
worth. Mr. Royle found the tree on the Choor mountain.

According to Blinkworth's account the tree is very large, and its fruit ripens in November, at which period the very
fragrant flowers also begin to appear. 4. sterculiaceum, described above, approaches very nearly to this species, but
differs in being much smoother, which may perhaps be owing to its being found in a much less elevated situation.

This fine tree is very like the common Alder. Its wood is considered durable, and is used for ordinary building
purposes by the natives of Nipal. The slender pendulous branches are frequently attacked by a sort of Coccus, which
produce numerous elevated tubercles or warts. The structure of the nut resembles that of Carpinus Betulus, as
described and figured by the incomparable Gærtner, except in the following respect. The cavity is filled with what
appears to me an entire and homogeneous, fleshy, almost colourless substance, exceedingly like a perisperm ; in
which are suspended, towards the apex of the seed, two minute embryones. It is possible that, notwithstanding
the most careful and repeated examination, I may have mistaken the cotyledons of the ripe seed for a perisperm ;
ap I have invariably seen two minute embryones lodged within the upper end of the fleshy substance which fills
the nut.

I am indebted to Professor Lindley for the specific character given above, and also for that of the following species,
which was sent to me from Gurwal by Kamrup :

I have only observed this fine large species of Chestnut in the immediate neighbourhood of Amherst. It was
covered with a profusion of fruit in the month of February. The seeds have an astringent taste.

Professor Lindley thinks that there is no difference between €. argentea of Dr. Blume's superb Flora Javæ and
my tree, except that the former is depicted with weak spines, a circumstance no doubt due to the fruit, which was
described as having been unripe. I venture to differ in this respect from my highly respected friend. Dr. Blume's
tree appears to me to differ in the following points. Its leaves are more acuminate at the apex, and sharper at the
base, and their petioles longer; the fruit is smaller, and its spines much shorter and less compound. Besides, the
locality seems to indicate a diversity: the Java tree grows on mountains; whereas mine occupies low ground, on

- the sea-shore of Martaban.

This is by far the largest species of Eugenia which I have met with in the Burmese territories. It is a lofty tree,
with ample shining coriaceous leaves, and numerous large pink flowers, disposed in lateral, short, and sessile racemes,
which are produced from the vestiges of the fallen leaves. The fruit is perfectly insipid.

This fine tree grows in many places of Nipal, both in the great valley and on the surrounding mountains. It
attains from fifty to sixty feet in height, and is of an oval shape, being branchy from the very base. The wood is greatly
esteemed by the inhabitants, and is employed for all sorts of purposes where strength and durability are required.
Prof. Lindley is of opinion that the specimens from the mountains bordering on Sillet differ in no respect from the
others, except in the leaves being somewhat tougher or harder, and he thinks that B. a/noides, (Don Prodr. Nepal.

The epidermis of this species of Birch is used by the mountaineers instead of paper for writing upon. It is of
a very delicate texture, and peels off in large masses, of which great quantities are brought down into the plains of
Hindustan, where it is employed for covering the inside of the long flexible tubes of the apparatus used for smoking
tobacco, commonly called Hooka. The Sanscrita name of the substance is Bhoorja; in the Bengali language,
Bhoorjapattra; and in the Hindustani, Bhojpattra. My worthy friend Mr. Graves Haughton, Oriental Examiner to
the Honourable East India Company, to whom I am indebted for the above synonyms, is of opinion that the word
Bhoorja is the etymon of Birch, and that it is one of the many proofs of the descent of the Saxon part of the English

language from the Sanscrita.

When I first received this stately plant from China, whence it was introduced into the Botanic Garden at Calcutta
by Mr. John Reeves, I thought it was specifically distinct from Uraria erinita of Desvau. On comparing it, however,
with the plants brought from other parts of India, I have come to the conclusion that it is only a variety of that
species. In general stature it is a shorter plant; but the leaves are much larger, and the spike far longer and thicker.
The leaflets are generally clouded in the centre in U. erinita, in our plant they are uniformly green. The variety
grows also at Sillet, and I have found it at Amherst in Martaban. “W. Gomez brought me specimens from Tavoy.

It is requested that the name on the plate may be altered to U. crinita, var. macrostachya.

This beautiful tree grows to my knowledge only on one spot near Thoka, on Mount Sheopore in Nipal, where I saw

This curious species of Arum varies considerably in stature, and in the number of leaflets. In general it attains a
height of four feet, and each leaf consists of nineteen leaflets. The structure of the spadix is very singular, the middle
being bent like a Roman S, ending in a long, ascending, and somewhat recurved apex. No part of the plant possesses

„any disagreeable smell; and I believe the root is considered innocent, and even esculent, by the mountaineers of
Nipal.

This is a very stately Arum, with the inflorescence almost sessile on the tuber ; and although it has a disagreeable
smell, it is far less offensive than many of the other species. The spathe is very large ànd leathery, sometimes two
feet long, hanging down from below the middle, and more or less trailing along the ground; the outer surface is of
a livid purple colour, the inner is bright green, covered with innumerable dark purple, angular spots. Before
expansion the heat at the bottom of the spathe is very considerable. The root is said to be a strong poison.

I have received this beautiful plant from the Sirmore and Gurwal alps, collected by Captain Webb, Dr. Govan,
and Lieutenant Gerard. I found it myself on far less elevated mountains, near the valley of Deyra, in fruit, in April
1825. In the Botanic Garden at Calcutta, where it was introduced by Lieutenant Gerard, it flowers in March. I
believe with Mr. Bentham that it does not differ from Roxburgh's plant, discovered many years ago by my highly
esteemed friend Major-General Hardwicke towards Srinaghur, and called by him in the Asiatic Researches, Vol. 6.
p. 949. S. integrifolia (a name preoccupied by a Peruvian species). The name of $. cana, under which I trans-
mitted specimens to the museum at the India House, and which I subsequently inserted in the Catalogue of
Indian Plants (No. 2145.), as also that of the accompanying plate, must therefore be altered accordingly.

(in hortis cultum.)

This plant is frequently cultivated in European as well as Indian
gardens, and scarcely differs from the O. Basilicum, except in the
inflorescence. I have never met with wild specimens in any of the
herbariums I have examined, and am therefore inclined to think it
may be a mere variety of O. Basilicum, raised by cultivation. “This
opinion is in some measure confirmed by those intermediate states
which Miller considered as a distinct species, under the name of
O. medium.

The O. minimum, Linn., which belongs also to this section, is a

E

Chilian, and not an East Indian plant. The O. micranthum, Willd.
(O. montanum, Hook. Bot. Mag. v. 57. t. 2996.; O. campechianum,

South America.

To this section should be referred C. africanus from Senegal,
which is inscribed Ocymun scutellarioides in Vahl's herbarium, and
also, in another hand-writing, Solenostemon scutellarioides. I have seen
the same species from that country in other herbaria, and believe it
to be the same as Ocymum monostachyum of Palisot de Beauvois, as
well as can be made out from his figures. Blume's Plectranthi, as
also several new species I possess from Ceylon and from the Indian
Archipelago, belong to this same section of Coleus.

This plant, so remarkable by the alternate inflorescence, is closely
allied to the Lavandula" of the section of Pterostachys ofde Gingins.
This character however, together with the 15-nerved calyx, the neariy
regular corolla, and the form of the fruit, are differences which appear
to me to be sufficient to warrant its separation as a distinct genus.

The preceding description is almost entirely taken from Professor Lindleys admirable Monograph on Roses.
The shrub is very large, and would be a great acquisition in this country, where it would beyond a doubt thrive well.
Mr. Lindley informs me that his variety y. arguta is possibly a distinct species, and the most European form among
the Roses of India, approaching to some varieties of Rosa mollis.

I sent specimens of this beautiful plant to the Museum at the India House in 1824, under the name of Calosacme
polycarpa. I have now referred the plant to the genus Lysionotus, and in justice to Dr. Hamilton I have adopted his
specific name, quoted but rejected by the author of the Prodromus Flore Nepalensis.

My acquaintance with this shrub is limited to some living individuals in the Honourable Company's Botanic Garden
at Calcutta, which were sent from the mountains near Sillet by Francis De Silva in 1825, and which blossomed soon
afterwards in February and July. I have never received any dried specimens of the plant, nor have I seen the fruit;
I am unable therefore to determine the genus with certainty. It seems to be nearly allied to Trichilia. The leaves
are neither dotted nor have they any aromatic smell; the pinnæ have sometimes a small additional leaflet or appendix
attached to or between their bases. i

Having given a full description of this plant in the second volume of Roxburgh's Flora Indica, I deem it unnecessary
to swell this work by copying it here. It is an exceedingly elegant shrub, growing wild on the highest mountains of
Nipal, both near the great valley, and in a more northerly direction; also on those of Kamoon and Sirmore. It

blossoms during the rainy season, from April to October, and the fruit ripens in October and November.

This shrub when in flower is one of the greatest ornaments which the Calcutta Garden possesses ; the flowers
being very large, of a dark purple colour, tessellated with black square spots, and opening in pocession nearly all
the year round. It approaches closely to Uvaria purpurea of Dr. Blume, figured and described in the Flora Jave of
that most eminent botanist; a work which for splendour of execution and for scrupulous accuracy of detail is second
to none that has ever appeared on botanical subjects.

This is a very large, extensively rambling or climbing shrub. When growing near a tree it ascends by means of
stout horizontal branchlets, which extend parallel and close to each other, alternately embracing the trunk once or
twice, and thus aiding to lift up the larger branches. The flowers are very elegant, but much smaller than those
of the preceding species. The leaves are large and handsome ; when rubbed they emit a not unpleasant, slightly
aromatic smell, which is generally present also in the other members of the tribe to which this shrub belongs. The
pulp of the berry is more aromatic than that of the fruit of Uvaria grandiflora. `

RHODODENDRUM ARBOREUM ALBUM. Tab. 123.

Varens, foliis subtüs ferrugineo-tomentosis ; floribus albis.

Crescit in monte Sheopore Napaliæ, ad summum ejus cacumen, florens mense Aprilis.

The stately Rhododendrum arboreum of the mountains of India has been fully described and beautifully figured by the
late Sir J. E. Smith. I shall therefore on this occasion advert only to two varieties of it with which I am acquainted :
namely, the White-flowered, which is figured in the accompanying plate, and the Rose-flowered, which was published
in the Botanical Register, vol. 15. p. 1240. Both are confined to the single mountain Sheopore, among those
which I had an opportunity of visiting during my sojourn in Nipal, occupying the very summit of it, at an elevation
of not less than 10,000 feet above the sea. I observed a considerable number of individuals, but it appeared to
me that those with rose-coloured flowers were by far the most common. They attain the size of very large forest-
trees, and are noble objects at all times. They blossom simultaneously in April, in which state the beauty of them
surpasses all description, the ample crown of the trees being entirely covered with bunches of large and elegant
blossoms. The common red-flowered or parent species is likewise found on the above-mentioned mountain, but it
is less frequent there than in lower situations, where it blossoms a month earlier, that is in March.

'There cannot be the slightest doubt that the above-mentioned trees are mere varieties of the common Rhodo-
dendrum arboreum ; and if it were necessary to adduce proofs of this, in addition to the fact that in every essential
character they perfectly agree, I should mention that I have actually seen the white- and rose-coloured sorts gra-
dually change into each other, as well as into the colour of the parent tree. “The only marks of distinction from the
latter, consist in the more or less brown colour of the lower surface of the leaves, which both varieties have in common,
and the colour of the flowers, which in our variety is pure white, with a very slight tinge of pale pink on the base of
two or three of the lobes of the corolla. I am convinced, moreover, that from the great elevation at which the
varieties are found, they will prove hardy trees in this country; and that even the common Nipal Rhododendrum,
provided the individuals are derived from mountains not lower than that at which its varieties grow, will also stand
the climate of England.

This very remarkable plant has been described by the late Sir James Edward Smith in Rees's Cyclopædia, under the
article * Paris,” from specimens received from the late Dr. Hamilton, which he gathered in Nipal in the year 1801,

where it grows very commonly, delighting, like its Northern relative, in shady and moist woods. Several years
before I visited that country, my people, who were stationed there under the direction of my zealous friend the
Honourable Edward Gardner, supplied me with specimens in all stages, of which I forwarded a vast number to the
late Sir Joseph Banks and Sir J. E. Smith, to Mr. Lambert, and many other botanists. A short account of the struc-
ture of the seed-vessel was transmitted by me from Nipal to Dr. Hamilton, who inserted it in the Edinburgh Philoso-

phical Journal, vol. 1. p. 379. “The natives of the country consider the whole plant as poisonous, especially the
seeds and root. All the green parts possess a disagreeable narcotic smell, which is perceptible on their being rubbed
and is very like that of a Datura. The number and relative position of the leaves and the parts of the flower vag
in an extraordinary manner, of which I know of no parallel instance. Mr. Royle has communicated to me a scale
of these variations, founded on his own observations, which I subjoin. He adds, that the fleshy root has a faint
nauseous smell and taste; the stem and berries, when bruised, a narcotic one; and that they probably possess the
medicinal properties ascribed to Paris quadrifolia in a still greater degree. My excellent friend found the plant on
the mountain called Mussuree, at an elevation of about 6000 feet, and in a mean temperature of 59” Fahrenheit,
flowering in April. Paris incompleta of Marschal a Bieberstein is probably quite a distinct species.

I have already remarked. (in page 4 of this Volume) that this noble tree varies somewhat in its foliage and fruit,
according to the locality of its growth. I am sure, however, that these differences do not amount to any specific
distinctions. The figure which is here given represents a branch of the Gossain Than tree, with young fruit.

This curious plant delights in arid and sterile exposed situations along the banks of the river Irawaddi. It is very
branchy, and spreads in all directions, over shrubs and rocks, climbing by means of its simple and slender tendrils.
The branches are long and pendulous ; the leaves very fleshy and juicy, and of a pale glaucous colour. The flowers

are small, but very numerous, forming ample greenish, nodding panicles; the different sexes are produced in distinct
plants.

I am acquainted with the following other species of Zanonia :—

Z. elavigera, levis ; foliis trifoliolatis, foliolis oblongis, acuminatis, integerrimis ; fructu maximo clavato.

A native of Sillet, where it is called in the Bengali language KisAnobera. The fruit is three inches long, and as
thick as a thumb; the seeds flat, oblong, terminated at both ends with an obtuse spongy wing, two inches long. The
mode of fructification in this as well as in Z. cissoides and lava, is like that of Z. sarcophylla.

Z. angulata, levis ; caule anguloso ; foliis simplicibus, subhastato-lanceolatis, basi cordatis ; fructu maximo, clavato.

This is also a native of Sillet. I have only seen a single mutilated specimen. “The fruit is as long as a finger, and
very thick.

Z. cissoides, caule filiformi, angulato; foliis pedatis, 5- vel 7-foliolatis, foliolis lanceolatis, utrinque acuminatis,
grossè cuspidato-serratis ; petiolis pedunculisque pilosulis.

This elegant shrub is rather common on the mountains of Nipal. “The flowers are sweet-scented like honey ; the
leaves when rubbed emit a very peculiar, almost sulphureous smell.

Since the time when I communicated specimens of the family of Caprifoliacee to my illustrious friend Professor
DeCandolle, who has done me the honour to undertake the description of the species in the collections under my
charge, I have become acquainted with another species of Viburnum, in the very rich herbarium of Dr. Wight, to
whom I have now the pleasure of inscribing it. It is nearly allied to the species described above, and like that it
belongs to M: DeCandolle's section called Solenotinus. Most probably it is a native of some of the mountains of the
Peninsula of India. It may be characterized in the following manner :— Gi

V. Wightianum, foliis lanceolato-ovatis, extrorsum acutè serratis, basi integerrimis, subtus petiolisque stellato-
puberulis, axillis nervorum lanuginosis ; corymbo terminali, brevè pedunculato, bracteis linearibus, elongatis, pedicellos
subæquantibus, corollis infundibuliformibus.

While I was in Nipal in 1820 and 1821, I found on the top of Sheopore, one of the highest mountains which sur-
round the great valley, near the remains of an old fortification, at an elevation of between 9,000 and 10,000 feet above
the plains of Bengal, a plant which I had no difficulty in recognizing as a species of Panaw nearly allied to the
Ginseng, if not identical with it. There was a good number of individuals growing under the thick shade of Oaks and
Rhododendrums, within an area of forty or fifty feet square ; but the most diligent and frequently repeated search
by myself and my assistants convinced me that the plant was fixed, as it were, to one circumscribed spot; nor were
our subsequent endeavours to find it anywhere else in Nipal attended with success. “The natives of the country to
whom I showed it were totally unacquainted with it, and ignorant of its virtues, real or imaginary; they had not
even a name for it to give me, although in ordinary cases they are so fertile and inventive, and so utterly to be mis-
trusted in matters connected with the nomenclature of the productions of their country. The Resident at the Court
of Katmandoo, my worthy friend the Honourable E. Gardner, at my suggestion intimated to that Durbar, or Govern-
ment, that the country possessed a plant which was held in the highest estimation among their Chinese neighbours,
and which might perhaps prove the most acceptable gift that could be sent to the Emperor with the triennial embassy
from the Rajah of Nipal. But the matter was not considered in the light of one deserving of any further inquiry ; the
Government being either unwilling to contribute so grand a panacea to a Court which they look upon with feelings
both of awe and envy ; or disinclined to ascribe to that Court so great a degree of folly as to pay the weight in gold
for an insignificant root, possessing no earthly sensible qualities, and of which not even the name is known in its native
country. Å very advantageous consequence has resulted from this proud feeling ; it is this,—that our little innocent
plant continues up to this day in the undisputed and undisturbed possession of its secluded and small territory, on the
top of the above-mentioned mountain. | i

It belongs to the class of plants called rhizocarpic. The root is lasting, shooting forth annually, at the commence-
ment of the rainy season, one or two stems, which produce blossoms in June, and ripe berries in August, after which
they die down to the ground. It is exceedingly like Panaw quinquefolius of Linneus, and may perhaps ultimately be
received as a variety only of that famous plant ; I have however thought it best to consider it as a distinct species, of
which I have given above the character and description. It seems to differ from the genuine Ginseng of Chinese
Tartary and North America in the following respects: its tubers are more numerous and fascicled ; the plant is much
taller; its upper parts, chiefly the leaves, are somewhat rough with copious, gray, subulate, bristly hairs; while the
other is perfectly smooth, except the leaves, which are sometimes very sparingly hairy. The leaflets are not ovate or
obovate, as in that species, but lanceolate, ending in a very long acumen, their base acute, not rounded, and the
margins are deeply indented with sharp and cuspidate double serratures. “The inflorescence, too, differs ; in our plant
it consists most frequently of three long-peduncled umbels, the peduncles of which are either distinct or united below
into one, with the flowers mostly all hermaphrodite ; in the Linnean species the umbel is single, E the flowers
polygamous : the berries in our species are mostly three-seeded, in the other gut are _ PERSO - d

It is highly probable that the root possesses as little claim to a place in our Materia Medica as the r p.

I have in vain endeavoured to preserve the young plants reared in the Honourable Company's Botanic Garden from
roots and seeds sent down from Nipal. Like all other alpine productions, especially those which have a confined
extent of growth, our plant is very impatient of controul, and soon perishes if removed into a climate not exactly
resembling its own: it is therefore not likely that it will ever be induced to grow in Bengal. i

The above description and observations have, with some slight modifications, been copied from an account of the
plant presented by me to the Medical and Physical Society of Calcutta, and inserted in the fourth volume of the Trans-
actions of that highly meritorious Body, which was printed after I left Bengal. Having since had the advantage of
consulting North American specimens of Panax quinquefolius, Linn., in the Banksian Herbarium, gathered by Kalm
and Bertram, and also those collected by my valued friend Dr. Boott, I am now convinced that the Nipal plant is
another species, which may be distinguished by the marks indicated in the specific character, and further detailed in the
observations I have given in the preceding pages. “The question as to the identity of the plant yielding the Ginseng
root of China and the American Panax quinquefolius, appears still to be involved in much obscurity, notwithstanding
all that has been written on the subject. My inestimable friend Mr. Brown has justly pointed out to me that the dis-
covery of a species so nearly allied to that of North America as my Nipal plant unquestionably is, in a country the
Flora of which greatly resembles that of the northern parts of China, adds at least to the probability of a similar plant
being found there also. But without further entering into this subject, I may refer the reader to an interesting and
condensed account of the Ginseng contained in the North American Botany, and to the articles Ginseng, Ninsi, and
Sium Sisarum, in Rees's Cyclopædia.

So far back as in 1818 I received, through the kindness of the Honourable E. Gardner, specimens of this most
curious little plant from Gossain Than, to which I alluded in a letter to Dr. Hamilton printed in the Edinburgh Philo-
sophical Journal, vol. 1. p. 377. While in Nipal in 1820 and 1821, my people brought me specimens in a very fresh

and perfect state, one of which I sent to Calcutta, to a much esteemed relative of the late Sir J. E. Smith, with a
request that she would forward it to that eminent botanist ; in whose herbarium, now the property of the Linnean
Society, the specimen is preserved, designated by the name of Zriocoryne nidularis, which I had proposed for the plant,
and with the letter from my amiable friend attached to it, dated Calcutta, the 30th of September, 1821. But before
I visited Nipal I had furnished specimens to the late Sir J oseph Banks and others, and in 1824 I transmitted numerous
specimens to the Honourable Company's Museum at the India House. The author of the Prodromus Flore Nepalensis,

with that delicacy of feeling which does him such infinite credit, and which he has uniformly evinced ever since he
has done me the honour to avail himself of the harvest gathered by myself and my native assistants, exercises his
talents as a scholar, by castigating the specific name gossypinus, which I had given to the plant, and substituting
gossipiphora for it, I presume on the same grounds which prompted him to disapprove a name given to another plant
by the first living botanist in the following classical terms: “ nomen (Spermadictyonis) nimis auris terribile est
servandum."

Our little plant occupies rocky and exposed situations approaching the limits of perpetual snow, among the highest
alps of the Himalaya, about Gossain Than, and also at Bhuddrinath, where it was found by Robert Blinkworth.
Nature has protected it in a very extraordinary manner against the effects of the severe cold which prevails during nine
months of the year in those lofty regions, and the intense heat of the short summer, by clothing it in a very thick and
soft dress of cotton. Indeed the whole plant resembles a figure made of cotton, and formed into the shape of a club
standing upright on the ground, its upper or broad end sometimes as thick as two closed fists. "The root is long
and tapering, almost fusiform. “The stem is thick and fleshy, undivided, and completely hidden; it is hollow in
the middle, the cavity being replete with a very delicate web of white fibres; it widens at the apex into a flattish,
somewhat pitted area, from which the small flower-heads arise. The leaves are numerous, erect, inserted in all direc-
tions along the stem by their broad bases; they are toothed, and of a narrow linear shape; and, excepting the lower-
most, and the tips of the others, they are entirely concealed in the white cotton. The flower-heads are small, oblong,
pale violet, sessile, and crowded into a dense, slightly convex tuft, which is so completely imbedded within the nest
formed by the copious woolliness of which the upper part of the plant almost entirely consists, that they can only be
seen by dividing it gently, and by separating the inner leaves which surround the inflorescence like feathers.

. Thirteen years ago I forwarded a short account of this plant and of the genus to which it belongs to Dr. Hamilton,
who inserted it in the first volume of the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal, published in 1819. It produces an
aromatic drug, which is in high repute among the Hindus, especially their ladies, who use it as a perfume. It is called
Kumkuma, also Rani-Govindhi, and consists of the dried primordial radical leaves, which are wrinkled, small, ovate,
covered with dense, silvery, soft, adpressed hairs, intermixed with numerous minute, brown, resinous dots. While
fresh they are almost an inch long, and very fleshy ; when rubbed between the fingers they assume a reddish tinge.
Their fragrance is of a very delightful kind, and continues long after they have been dried. Indeed all the species
of this genus possess in a greater or less degree a peculiar fragrance, which is elicited by rubbing the green parts,
but which is entirely lost in the dried state, except in the species just described.

With regard to this genus and the tribe of Cyrtandracee to which it belongs, I shall here only notice that the

climbing over the trunks and larger branches of trees by means of numerous branchy and fibrous radicles, which ire
produced in great abundance along the larger branches. All the upper parts are fleshy and smooth, of a palli

glaucous-green colour, without being in the least mealy, abounding in a thick and viscid white milk.» The young

branches ws very long and slender, almost filiform, hanging down loosely. The leaves are ya ke e Md
they are thick and fleshy, of a broad oval, or nearly round form, an inch to an inch and a half long, without any visible
nerves or veins, convex above, concave underneath, with sharp and recurved margins, supported by means of short,
thick, cylindrical petioles. Along the lower branches, and very sparingly if at all intermixed with aa E are pro-
duced numerous large appendages, of a very singular structure, which give the plant a dac E y E (oe
appearance, contrasting in a striking manner with that of the slender and pendulous, almost na j ane jets. à ey
consist of crowded, opposite, pendulous, fleshy bags or reservoirs, from two to five inches long, of an ovate or oblong,
more or less compressed form, the margins and apex blunt, the sides very irregularly and obtusely angular and
wrinkled, perfectly smooth and shining, and destitute of nerves or veins. “Their base or upper extremity is hollow and
inverted, so as to form a short and wide tube or inlet to the cavity; that end of the tube which. forms the opening
at the base of the bag is wrinkled and convex, and on its inner side is inserted the very short, cylindric, curved stalk,
by which the bag is attached to the branch, and which resembles in every respect the footstalks of the leaves, having
moreover, like those, a series of small subulate bodies externally at its end ; the side of the tube which corresponds to
the insertion of the stalk is the shortest, and is slit longitudinally ; the inner opening is oblique, with recurved, free
margins. The cavity of the bag is narrow, and contains always a dense tuft of radicles, which are produced from the
pearest part of the branch, or even from the stalk on which the bag is suspended, and which enter through the inlet
by one or two common branches ; its sides are smooth and shining, of a dark purple colour. I am unable to offer any
conjecture as to the immediate use of these curious reservoirs, unless it be to protect the tender roots, which are
always found in them in great luxuriance ; for after continuing a certain time, the bags acquire a yellowish hue and gra-
dually decay, leaving the roots to attach themselves to the trunk of the tree on which the plant grows. My excellent
friend Mr. Lindley considers them as modified forms of leaves; an opinion which derives confirmation from the presence
on their footstalks of the small subulate bodies, which are also found on the proper petioles of this plant, as well as of
most, if not all the other members of the natural family to which it belongs. The bags contain generally a great
number of small and harmless black ants, most of which find a watery grave in the turbid fluid which frequently half
fills the cavity, and which seems to be entirely derived from without.

I found the plant at Singapur, on an excursion with the late Sir Stamford Raffles; and to that most amiable and
excellent man, my dear departed friend and patron, I dedicate it. I have met with a plant very closely re-
sembling it on the banks of the river Attran in Martaban, near Assamee, with flower and fruit, in the month of
March : respecting this and some other species with which I am acquainted I offer the following observations.

D. clavata, foliis subrotundo-ovatis ; ascidiis confertis, pendulis, subsessilibus, cylindricis, clavatis, arcuatis, mar-
ginatis, obtusé cuspidatis ; coronæ stamineæ lobis oblongis, obtusis, incurvis ; folliculis puberulis.

This species resembles D. Hafflesiana in its habit and mode of growth, and in producing abundance of reservoirs.
These latter are however of a very different form ; they are club-shaped, slightly curved, five inches long, compressed,
surrounded with a thin and narrow margin, and gradually enlarging from the base into a rounded apex, which is obtusely
pointed on one side; their structure is in every respect similar to that of the other species, and their cavity is always
filled with roots. The leaves are broad ovate, almost orbicular, with an acute point, concave underneath ; petioles
very short. Flowers precisely as in the Singapore plant; they are yellow, with greenish lines between the lacinize.
Follicle solitary, cylindric, subulate, two inches long, pubescent.

D. bengalensis, Colebr. A native of Sillet.

D. cuneifolia, foliis cuneatis, subretuso-cuspidatis, basi valdé attenuatis, ramisque furfuraceis.

I found this rooting on trees on the banks of the Attran river, without flower or fruit, towards the end of the month
of March. It is undoubtedly a species of Dischidia, and is nearly allied to D. bengalensis, but differs essentially in
the points contained in the above specific character.

D. Nummularia, Brown ; Nummularia lactea minor (prima), Rumph. Amb. vol. 5. p. 472. t. 176. f. 1.“ I-found this
in flower and fruit in March 1826, on the Attran river, near the place where D. Hafflesiana grows; also at Penang
and Singapur, without flower, towards the end of 1822. Vahl's Collyris minor, Act. Soc. Hist. Nat. Hafn. vol. 6.
p. 111. may perhaps be a different species from Rumphius's plant, which that author quotes as a synonym ; it seems to
be the same as a plant from the East Indies, gathered by Kónig, of which I have seen specimens in the Banksian Her-
barium, with oval, rather long-petioled leaves, which are not mealy. “The structure of the columna staminea is pre-
cisely like that of D. Hafflesiana, and differs therefore in some degree from Mr. Brown's plant, on which he founded
his genus.

'This beautiful tree was discovered on the mountains between Hurdwar and Srinaghur by my highly esteemed friend
Major General Hardwicke, who published the following short account of it in the Asiatic Researches, vol. 6. p. 363.
* Prunus.—A cherry tree of common size, found in several places between the mountains. Leaves irregularly
alternate, petioled, serrulated, smooth, shining, with two globular glands at the base. ‘The fruit in clusters, about
the size of the black Hertfordshire cherry, of a roundish oval shape, acid and adstringent in a ripe state, and of a
dull red colour. The nut furrowed and thick. The wood is much esteemed among the travelling Fakeers for
bludgeons and walking-sticks, and known in common by the name of Puddum."

The tree was found about the same time by Francis Pierard, Esq. formerly in the civil service of the Honourable
Company, and now residing at Kew, to whose zeal in the, cause of botany the Garden of Calcutta is indebted for
several very valuable plants, among which I may name the interesting Dendrobium Pierardi, and Pierardia sapida.
Both these gentlemen found the tree on the mountains about Hurdwar. I have also met with it there, and likewise in
the valley called Deyra, in fruit in April. In Nipal it is very common, and when in flower in the months of November
and December it is a most charming object, being entirely covered with its innumerable rounded clusters of rose-
coloured blossoms, which completely conceal the branches. At all other seasons it forms a large, rounded, shady tree.
The fruit is of the size of a very small cherry, yellow on one side, and dark red on the other, owing to one half of it
taste is pleasant and refreshing, although never quite sweet. In the less elevated regions of Deyra
better than it does in Nipal, and both I and the party who did me the honour to accompany me
almost as much as we should have done had we been encamped

only ripening ; its
this cherry ripens i
on my excursion in that valley in 1825, enjoyed it yn ' A :
under a grove of cherry trees in Europe. The wood is reckoned very useful in Nipal ; specimens of it and of about five

hundred other sorts of wood from the East Indies, which the Honourable Court of Directors of the Company have
placed at the disposal of the Society for the Encouragement ot Arts, are now in à some gh Hå ia ki
be fully reported upon by the highly esteemed and excellent Secretary of that Society 4 fa me de posce

_ My most esteemed friend the Rev. Dr. Carey of Serampur suspects with me that this beautiful species is distinct

from Crinum zeylanicum, which I found growing together with it about Rangoon. It closely resembles the figure of
Amaryllis zeylanica in the Botanical Magazine, vol. 30. n. 1171., but the colour of its flowers is by no means si dark
as in that plant. I have had the true C. zey/anicum and our plant in flower at the same time at the Calcutta Garden ;
but I regret that I have not been able to fix on any very satisfactory character by which to distinguish them. I har
dedicated the plant here represented to the Hon. and Rev. W. Herbert of Spofforth, whose indefatigable zeal in the

cultivation of foreign plants, and whose valuable labours in the arduous family of Liliacee are so well known and so
highly prized.

This tree unquestionably comes very near to Wrightia tomentosa, Roth., which I have found wild on the Irawaddi,
among hills at Segain, opposite the city of Ava, and along the banks of the rivers in Martaban, and which also
grows at Tavoy. Both seem to approach closely to W. pubescens, Brown. It appears to differ from the latter in having
broader and more ovate leaves, longer tube of the corolla, and club-shaped follicles ; these are much longer and
slenderer, and nearly cylindrical in Roth's species.

This tree seems to be different from any of those described and figured in Dr. Blume's superb work. It is certainly
distinct from JM. Champaca of Hindustan and from the species found in Nipal. Its flowers are larger than those of any
of the other species with which I am acquainted, of a deep orange colour, and exquisitely fragrant. I have found a
second species in the Burma country, on the banks of the Irawaddi, at Prome and Ava, also in Pegu and Martaban ;
it has also been sent to me from Tavoy. It resembles my .M. aurantiaca in every respect except in the colour and
size of the flower, which are like those of the common M. Champaca ; perhaps it is only a variety of our tree.

This tree closely resembles my Saurauja Punduana, but is specifically distinct from it. “When in flower it is
extremely handsome, which is the case also with the following species :—

Å native of Sillet, whence I received specimens from Francis De Silva. In Dr. Hamilton's herbarium are preserved
specimens which were gathered at Siupur on the Morung hills, and at Birjura. It blossoms in April and May, and
according to Roxburgh ripens its berries in July and August. 3

I found this fine tree in very many parts of lower and upper Nipal, where it is called Gokul. It is in flower during
the rainy season, and ripens its fruit in November. The natives eat the berries. Dr, Hamilton’s collection contains
specimens from Siupur only.

This noble Oak has been so well described by Sir J. E. Smith in Rees's Cyclopædia, that I have very little to add in
this place. “The young branches are thick, eylindric, and glaucous. Buds terminal, fascicled, or axillary and solitary
ovate, obtuse, with many rounded, villous and silky scales. Leaves very handsome, of a firm and leathery minde
sometimes a foot long, and as much as five inches broad, smooth and glossy above, more or less mealy, Fonte
nearly white underneath. “The fruit is remarkably large, as much as two inches in diameter.

The drawings from whence the engravings of this and the following species have been taken, were made by Mons.
M. Gauci, whose extremely courteous and able services connected with the graphic part of this work I acknowledge
with very great pleasure.

This elegant little plant forms unquestionably a new genus, very unlike any of the others belonging to the family of
Scrophularinee. The flowers are remarkably large for the size of the plant, and of a dark sky-blue colour; the corolla
is perfectly flat. I have a second species from Kamaon, which was sent to me by Robert Blinkworth, and which may
be called P. majus. It differs in having a longer stem, an ovate-cordate, acute, sharply sinuato-dentate leaf, and the
common peduncles umbellato-bifid, each division bearing two long-pedicelled flowers, besides one or two pedicels
from the bifurcation. “This may perhaps be only a large variety of the Nipal plant; but as my specimens are not
very good I am unable to determine this point.

I believe it will be found that the synonyms I have quoted above belong to one and the same species, for which I have
retained the name first given to it together with a description by the veteran and excellent botanist Mr. Roth, not-
withstanding that it appears founded on a misconception (consult Roxburgh's Flora Indica, vol. 2. p. 111.). The speci-
mens received from Kamaon, those I gathered on Taong Dong, and some of those which I found in Nipal, belong to
a marked variety, perhaps a distinct species.

I have found this handsome species only on Mount Sheopur in Nipal, towards its summit, where it blossoms in the
rainy season about August. “The flowers are extremely elegant, of a bright rose-colour, with a white tube ; the point
of the upper lip crimson, almost purple. “The leaves are lobed in a very remarkable manner along the margins, each
lobe is rounded and obtusely crenate. I am acquainted with thirteen other species of Pedicularis, natives of India, the
publication of which has been confided to the able hands of M. Duvau of Paris.

This is a very large and distinct species. All the green parts are bearded with remarkably long and dense hairs ;
the underside of the leaves is very hoary, silvery, and soft. “The flowers are large, and of a pale yellow colour, with
a tinge of pink within; they are collected in short, peduncled, axillary, solitary fascicles, surrounded by a number of
narrow, very long, curved, fleshy, green bracts, which are thickly beset on the outside and margins with very long
spreading hairs; two or three of these bracts issue sideways below each calyx or pedicel, forming collectively a large
and wide involucre, the points of which converge slightly over the flowers.

My acquaintance with this species is derived from dried specimens, and from a beautiful drawing in the possession
of my most esteemed patron and friend H. T. Colebrooke, Esq., to whom I am indebted for the accompanying
engraving. It must be a very handsome tree at all times, on account of the elegant shining foliage with which it is
most abundantly furnished; the flowers are large and ornamental, collected in opposite axillary bunches.

The flowers of this curious plant are so small that I have found it exceedingly difficult to trace the structure of
their very minute organs of fructification. “The column is almost globular, and is surrounded with five extremely
delicate, white, erect, very slightly converging threads, which are twice its length, and bent back at the apex so as to
form a small hook. Stamens perfectly distinct and somewhat remote from each other; filaments very short; anthers
large, adhering with their centre to the middle of the stigma, and bursting inwardly along each margin ; their apices
broadish and bent down upon the stigma, which they almost conceal; the cells are narrow, membrane-margined, slightly
contracted in the middle, each containing four most minute, globular, white, granular pollen-masses. Ovarium
single; style slender, longish ; stigma large and fleshy, ovate, with convex sides and five-cornered truncate base ; its
apex acute and undivided. Retinacles five, longish, flattened, linear, almost capillary, of a shining brown colour ;
they are attached with their base to the corners of the base of the stigma by means of a white, soft, and spherical
gland ; they rest loosely on the obtuse angles of the stigma, extending as far as their middle, and are visible between
the anthers; their apex is flattened, of an obovate, obtuse shape. As soon as the cells of the anthers burst, one of
the two pollen-masses contained in each escapes and adheres to the upper or broad part of the retinacle, while the
other is sometimes found remaining in the cell towards its upper end. “The follicles are divaricate, of a ventricose
ovate form, perfectly smooth. “They burst along the upper or less convex side, where they are surrounded by an
elevated incurved ridge or margin. The seeds are large, flat, obovate, elegantly imbricate ; they appear to be naked, but
on being detached from their fleshy placenta, a few silky whitish fibres are seen proceeding backwards from their acute
umbilicus, parallel to the margins and closely adhering to these, some of the fibres reaching almost as far as the oppo-
site or obtuse end of the seed.

Our plant agrees in several respects with Cryptostegia, Brown in Botan. Register, vol. 5. n. 435. (Nerium grandi-
florum, Roxb.), and together with that genus connects the Asclepiadeæ with the Apocynea. Both are farnished with five
appendages, rising from the throat of the corolla, opposite the stamens, alternating with the laciniæ, and with bilocular
stamens adhering to the sides of the stigma. The retinacles exist in both, and resemble each other in general figure
and position ; but instead of being free, as in our shrub, the upper broad end adheres in Cryptostegia to the margins
of the anthers; and the glandular knob by which they are attached to the stigma in our plant, is in that supplied by a
linear process which is elongated vertically at both ends. But the great difference consists in the nature of the pollen,
which in Cryptostégia continues always a homogeneous substance, whereas in our plant it is condensed into twenty
globular masses. To this curious structure of the flower of Nerium grandiflorum I adverted in a paper, presented
to the Asiatic Society of Calcutta in 1815 and printed in 1816, (see Asiatic Researches, vol. 12. p. 568, note at
the bottom); so that I may, in this single instance, boast of having preceded the most eminent of all botanists in the
announcement of a novel structure in the Asclepiadeæ. Indeed, we have both been preceded by Dr. Roxburgh, who
distinctly alludes to these retinacles in his manuscript Flora Indica quoted in the Botanical Register. It is remark-
able that these retinacles appear at a much later period than in any other member of the family, either observed by
Mr. Brown or myself; even shortly betore the expansion of the corolla they are only indicated by a small linear

milk-white body between the swelled margins of the anthers. ; |
I have dedicated this new and remarkable genus to the memory of my very dear friend George Finlayson, Esq.

of Thurso in Scotland, Assistant Surgeon in His Majesty's 8th Regiment of Light Dragoons, and attached to the
Mission sent by the Bengal Government to Siam and Cochinchina, in 1821. I had the happiness to become
acquainted with that gntleman at Singapur, towards the close of 1822, and we returned together to Calcutta by
the same ship. Unfortunately a deep-rooted consumption, caused by the enthusiastic zeal with which my amiable
friend performed his duties, both as surgeon and naturalist to the expedition, made such frightful progress
during the latter part of the voyage, that scarcely any prospect remained of his ultimate recovery. Still his return to
Europe held out a feeble hope of his valuable life being prolonged ; but that hope was soon frustrated ; he died on
his passage to England. Of the excellence of my friend's character, and the large share of knowledge which he pos-
sessed, it would be presumption in me to attempt offering any further proofs than what are contained in his Journal
of the Mission, which was published, together with a short account of his life, by the late Sir Stamford Raflles, who
highly appreciated his worth. He had made the most extensive and valuable collections in all branches of natural
history ; but owing to his painful and distressing illness, they were much injured and reduced before they reached
their final destination at the Honourable East India Company's Museum.

I should have adopted the generic name Gurua given to our plant by Dr. Hamilton, although founded on a wrong
native name supplied to him, if I had not printed the accompanying plate before I became aware of their identity,
and if I had not been quite sure that that worthy botanist had he lived would readily have consented to the change.

This fine shrub is the largest-flowered Asclepiadea with which I am acquainted, and I have found it peculiarly
adapted to afford a clear and complete insight into the organization and economy of that difficult family, so beauti-
fully developed by Mr. Brown. If the analysis instituted by that illustrious botanist be repeated in a flower of our
plant, even long before the corolla has become visible beyond the calyx, the pollen-masses will be found quite consoli-
dated into a distinct form within the respective cells of their anthers. Soon afterwards the processes of the retinacles
extend to the masses through the upper part of the anthers, which has now burst open. The stamens are epipetalous,
and quite distinct and free; their inner concave side is divided into two lateral cells containing a sweet mucous fluid,
by means of a vertical broadish ridge, which rests on the pistils. In Sarcolobus the stamens are strictly gynandrous,
the anthers being sessile and attached to the base of the stigma; and this structure exists probably also in some other
genera.

I cannot reconcile this shrub with the characters of any of the genera belonging to the family, although it seems
to come very near to Kanahia, Br., as I have already pointed out. Dr. Roxburgh, in his manuscript account of our
plant, which he calls Asclepias pulchella, observes that Rheede's figure of Adakodien would be a tolerably correct
representation of it if the fascicles of flowers were long-peduncled. “That plant, however, has long ago been formed
by Mr. Brown into a most remarkable genus, very different from ours, and called by him Holostemma. “The indivi-
duals of. Rhaphistemma pulchellum which Y found in Pegu, and which were collected in Tavoy by W. Gomez, differ in
no respect from the Hindustan plant, except in haviig a pale purple broadish stripe running down the middle of each
division of the corolla, and sometimes extending in small specks down the tube and even over the calyx.

I am acquainted with two species of Holostemma, namely :

chum annulare, et Asclepias convolvulacea, Herb. Heyn. A. annularis Heyn. Herb. Wight. Gomphocarpus ? volubilis,

In Dr. Hamilton's valuable. manuscript Catalogue of a. collection of dried specimens presented to the Honourable East
India Company's Museum, Rheede's and Roxburgh's plant is quoted with a doubt. He says that the Hindus call the
shrub Bara Dudhiya. i NA ^ Gn å

This plant differs from the first species in having much, narrower and proportionally longer leaves: in other
respects they are much alike. It abounds in milk. The flowers are large and beautiful, delightfully fragrant, and of
a thick, fleshy structure: four or five are produced from a short peduncle, inserted on one side of the axil, and
supported on longish, white, dotted pedicels. Calyx very small, under the broad retuse base of the corolla, divided
into five ovate, obtuse, ciliate lobes. Corolla cup-shaped, white, with purple minute spots; lobes deeply separated
from each other, ovate-oblong, obtuse, convex, and almost gibbous above, wrinkled and concave underneath. Column
five-keeled, naked, except at the very base, which is surrounded by a thick, fleshy,
alternating with the corners of the column. Anthers ovate,
Pollen-masses very long, flat, cuneate, hanging down
which are attached to the corners of the

annular ring, which is slightly marked with five lobes,
obtuse, membranous, covering the five-cornered stigma. | |

I am indebted for the specific character and the description (partly derived from my own notes) of this and the
next species to my worthy friend Mr. Haworth, whose indefatigable labours have thrown so much light upon the
difficult and extensive family of plants to which the genus Calanchoe belongs.

I found this ornamental shrub on the mountains of Taong Dong, twenty miles from Ava; but it may perhaps also
be a native of Pegu, although this is doubtful. It attains almost a man's height, and is easily distinguished at first
sight by its very straight and rigid habit, and by its very regularly decussate leaves, which are tripinnate, with nearly
cylindric, deeply channelled segments; only in the infant plant they appear entire, flattened, and lanceolate ; very
soon afterwards they entirely change their form. The flowers are of a bright yellow colour, very numerous, col-
lected into a large, terminal, rounded and dense panicle.

I have found this strong and robust species both in Nipal and in the Burmese territories, near the petroleum wells
at Yenangheun, on the left bank of the Irawaddi. In the Calcutta Garden, where the plant has been introduced from
both those countries, it thrives remarkably well. An account of it has been published already by Mr. Haworth, in
the Philosophical Magazine and Annals, N. S. Vol. IX. from a plant brought home by myself, which blossomed in

although he politely offered to alter it to one I had suggested for it at the time of its discovery, and which was
engraved on the plate long before I became aware of a name having been published already. I therefore request
that the name Calanchoe subamplectens, in Plate 167, may be altered to C. varians.

There can be no doubt that our plant is a congener of Rheede's Karin-Njota and of Vahl's Vitmannia elliptica,

genus, with M. de Jussieu, in the family of Simarubee. (Bijdr. p. 251 and 259.)

Having given an account of this large shrub in Roxburgh’s work, I shall confine myself hiere to a few remarks on
the structure of the fruit, which has been subsequently sent to me from Kamaon by Robert Blinkworth. . Capsules
very numerous, densely collected into a large globular head, which measures from 2 to 23 inches in diameter ; they
are ovate-clavate, short-pedicelled, hairy and ribbed, about 5 lines long, and crowned with the narrow-linear, longish

lacini: of the calyx. Seeds very small, round-ovate, smooth, terminated. at each end by long membranous linear
wings, the lower one of which is bifid.

—MSS. Wightii.

This elegant and curious shrub was introduced in 1826 into the Calcutta Garden, from the Nilghiry, by Dr. Wight,
to whom I am indebted for the detailed description given above. “The plant, both in its wild and cultivated state, is
abundantly covered with soft and spreading long hairs: the leaves are large, very soft and villous, somewhat rugose
above ; underneath they are covered with a white and dense tomentum, except along the reticulated nerves, which are
almost naked, and therefore retain their green colour; they resemble in some degree the leaves of several of the Indian
Rubi. The flowers are large, of a purplish'rose-colour, a few collected in long-peduncled, involucred, axillary heads.

Dr. Wight has lately come back to this country on a temporary visit of a few years, having brought with him an
herbarium, collected by himself in various parts of the peninsula of India, amounting to between 3000 and 4000 species,
and comprising nearly 100,000 beautifully preserved specimens. “This stupendous herbarium he intends distributing
among the principal public and private collections throughout Europe, confiding at the same time the publication
of the several families to a number of distinguished botanists, in the manner adopted by the Honourable East India
Company with respect to their collections. It would be altogether needless to offer the slightest comment on an
act of such unparalleled generosity and disinterestedness on the part of a private individual ; but I beg to be allowed
to express the sincere gratification which I feel in simply announcing the intention of my highly esteemed friend
and fellow-labourer, wishing him health and strength both to accomplish that object, and to publish his valuable

botanical researches.

times geminate, oval, shining, brown, smooth, about an inch long, terminated by a short columnar it and å "id
by an hemispherical cup, about half its size, having a sharp and entire circular orifice, with the outer e Fano

male inflorescence, the under surface of the leaves, and the cup, are covered with a copious, stellate, Midi attached
tomentum. The leaves in young trees are more or less spinous-dentate. The tree inhabits the summit of lofty moun-
tains, constituting, together with the common Nipal RAododendrum, the chief forests, and attaining a gigantic size. It
measures frequently in height from eighty to a hundred feet, with a girth of the stem, at six feet above the ground, of
fourteen to eighteen feet; I have met with individuals of far greater dimensions on the summit of Sheopur. The
wood is much esteemed by the natives, who employ it for various purposes of building, and for making bedsteads.

This is one of the finest trees in Nipal. Its leaves are large and of an elegant form, covered on the under surface
with long extremely fine and soft ferruginous hairs. The wood is considered strong and durable by the inhabitants
of Nipal, and as such employed for a variety of carpenters work. | i i

It is with peculiar satisfaction that I feel myself enabled to enrich this work with the following most interesting and
learned account of the family to which this tree belongs. It is from the pen of my highly esteemed friend Professor
C. G. Nees von Esenbeck, of Breslau, President of the Imperial Academy Nature Curiosorum, to whom I take this
opportunity of offering my warmest and best acknowledgments.

1. Ordines plantarum, certe qui non arte facti, sed a natura creati,
ob summum partium concentum integri videantur et simplices ne-
cesse est, ut idem fere sit, genus esse statuas an ordinem.

2. Que quidem genera principalia, patribus nostris ab ipsa natura
revelata, deinceps aucta formarum singularium et observationum mul-
titudine, animo perfecte. comprehenduntur, eoque in omnes partes
penetrante ut corpora viva animantur ; quod ubi evenit character seu
nota generis in typum ordinis evolvitur, scilicet summa partium, et
que istis inhæreant proprie dispositiones ac forme, quantum pa-
teant, quibus limitibus sint comprehensæ, præfiniuntur.

3. Genus, ad gradum ordinis seu familiæ promotum, jam intrin-
secus pervestigandum, utrum formarum et partium concentus univer-
salis in partes secedat suis quidem finibus circumscriptas, sed altiore
quadam conspiratione junctas, an totus et integer omnium partium
quietå nec usquam interruptå, evolutione existat.

4. Typi universalis partes, animo comprehensæ, genera sunt ordinis
naturalis; neque ea vero etiam systematis artificialis genera neces-
sario habenda esse, constat; his enim leges nature instinctu, non
humani artificis manu, séribuntur. “Generis, ad familie gradum
promoti, sectiones jam genera appellanda sunt.”—DeCand. Théor.
Elém. p.220. ;

5. Ejusmodi genera * distributiones sunt familiarum sive ordinum
methodice.” DeCand. l.c. p. 217. Hee autem non ad unam partem
vel ad paucarum conjunctionem, sed ad universi corporis congruen-
tiam sunt effingendæ. Omnis pars tamen, que congruentiam signi-
ficat, tametsi concinnitas ipsa neque in ista sola parte, neque in ulla
usquam per se spectata queerenda sit, characterem vel sigillatim vel
cum aliis conjuncta efficere, vel accedere characteri eumque firmare
et illustrare potest. Qui partibus fructificantibus floribusque solis
inherent characteres, cum generis non sint fundamenta, sed signa
tantum, levioris sepe momenti videri, necesse est.

6. Quodcunque autem genus naturale, cum intra familiæ spatium
et secuhdum ejus typum consideretur, vel absque flore et fructu,
atque adeo ex qualibet discerpta parte, ab observatore gnaro digno-
scitur.

7. Exemplo sunt: Proteaceæ, Epacrideze, Goodenoviæ, cet. Brown-
iane; Conifere Richardiane; Melastomaceæ, Leguminosæ Candol-
leane; Umbelliferæ Kochianæ; Synanthereæ pleræque Cassinianc ;
Amarantaceæ et Palme Martiane; Gramineæ Linkiane, alia ut
taceam. i

8. Quo angustiores autem formarum in familia aliqua complexarum
fines et numeri, eo fallacior typi universalis, omne, ut ita dicam, par-
tium studium supprimentis vel devorantis species, inattento vel inex-
ercitato oculo apparens. Accuratius autem inspicienti partium con-
stituentium note inveniuntur, neque revera minus diversa esse genera
talium ordinum, sed videri tantum minus diversa esse cognoscitur.

9. Laurinarum ordo e simplicissimis exstruitur formis, partium-
que distributione simplicissima utitur. Tum ea vero, quee propria
sunt ordini, maximeque insignia, ut v. c. antherarum et staminodiorum

nec summi ponderis neque satis stabilia.

foliorum delapsorum crasse, reniformes, scutiformes, lunatæ, diu per
sistunt, situmque foliorum produnt. Ramificatio fit circa apices et
ex ipso apice, quam posteriorem innovationem appello. Basis inno-
vationum gemmæ naturam docet cicatricibus squamarum angustiori-
bus, que modo confertissimæ quasi annulos efficiunt, modo in spiris
regularibus disponuntur, modo paucissimv adsunt et parum con-
spicuæ.

ll. Gemmatio. Gemme vel paucis teguntur squamis, vel pluri-
bus. Illarum squame subcoriaceæ sunt et herbaceæ, quasi valvatim
opposite, carinatæ, apice magis minusve dehiscentes; quarum due
vel quatuor plerumque majores extus sole in conspectum veniunt,
unå alteráve minore ad basin gemmæ a latere accedente. Pyramidales
hæ gemme sunt, angulatæ, vel compressæ, neque terminales neque
axillares magnitudine admodum præcellentes. Sub foliatione squamæ
istæ nonnihil increscunt, subfoliaceå structurå præditæ, et post paucas
earum jam sequuntur perfectiora folia evidenti transitu. Ex altera
parte gemma, quæ multis squamis tecta, perulata dicitur, his gaudet
chartaceis vel coriaceis, pluribus spiris arcte imbricatis, sub foliatione
solutis nullåque præviå evolutione cadentibus; terminales hujusce
modi gemmæ majores sunt, ovatæ, oblongæ, lanceolatæ, teretesque,
nec angulatæ.

Cassyte generis gemmæ continuå fere evolutione dissolvuntur.

12. Folia omnium simplicia, integerrima et plurimorum etiam in-
tegra, petiolata, coriacea, chartacea, persistentia vel defluentia. et

nitida vel opaca, subtus sepe glauca, penninervia, vel palminervia,
vel que utrisque intercedunt media, triplinervia, reticulo interjecto
magis minusve distincto, venulis szepe arcuatis subparallelis. Dispo-
sitio foliorum alterna, ad divergentiam 2, ut Alexandri Brauni verbis*
utar, apud plerasque exstruitur, ita quidem, ut sextum quodque folium
cum primo quoque, quod tibi elegeris, lineå verticali jungatur. In
multis autem singuli ramuli ejusdem evolutionis senis tantum gau-
dent foliis circa apices magis magisque confertioribus, que inse-
quitur gemma apicem occupans. In aliis per paria propius sibi
conjunguntur folia, vel etiam opposita aut verticillata proveniunt,
ad verticillorum leges tum disposita.

Cassyte folia abortiva, in squamulas exiguas abeunt.

13. Inflorescentia duplicis est generis : umbellulata, vel paniculata.
Umbellulata e floribus oritur in communis pedunculi apice propriis
pedicellis suis nascentibus; qui flores, cum non nisi exiguis pedicellis
feruntur, veluti in capitula congeruntur. Involucrum his datum est
tetra- hexa- octophyllum, cujus foliola squamis gemmarum foliipa-
rarum perfectiorum sunt similia. Proveniunt iste umbellulæ e fo-
liorum axillis, propria gemma basi, sæpe brevissime, impositæ, quae
basis seu axis gemme, cum altius ab origine assurgit, fasciculatæ vel
racemose dicuntur umbellulæ; paucis singule sunt per axillas fo-
liorum umbellulæ, abortu reliquarum residuæ. Ubi pedunculus um-
bellulæ contrahitur, glomerulus prodit umbellularum ; squame jam
immiscentur gemme umbelluliferz ; tum denique, evanescente omni
pedunculi communis vestigio, flores singulatim inter gemmee axillaris
squamas emergunt, et ipsa tum vero gemma umbellulæ involucratæ

sionis medio, ramuli ultimi paniculæ 4 floribus gaudent, addito autem
illo sex vel septem. Ubi rami paniculæ magis evolvuntur, ad com-
munis pedunculi typum ipsi accedentes parvæ sunt panicule. In
debiliori inflorescentia triflori sunt ramuli, solo medio utriusque di-
visionis flore adhuc superstite. Magisque autem in compendium
redacta omnis inflorescentia ramulum ejusmodi exhibet apice cymu-
loso-bifidum, 14- 12- 8- 7—8-florum. In Cassyta inflorescentiz axis
integer, abjectis ramis, flores fert in spicas redactos.—Bracteolæ parve,
squamiformes, ad basin ramificationum omnium existunt, sub expli-
catione inflorescentize aufugientes,

quorum pedicelli, cum fructus incremento quam maxime incrassati

Cassyte flores sessiles sunt.

15. Périanthium e duplici verticillo sepalorum, basi majori mino-
rive spatio in tubum connatorum, constat; tubus perstat in omnibus,
ubi vero brevissimus est, sub fructu fere evanescit; in aliis autem
natura brevior, nec minimus, in discum orbicularem explanatur; in
aliis cyathi indurati et incrassati forma cum pedicello incrassato con-
fluit; in aliis, ubi longior, fructum omnino investit clauditque, et
tune quidem succulentus carnosusve sub maturitatis tempus inspis-

tato constant, antheram fabricæ singularis valvis sursum adscenden-
tibus dehiscentem, glanduloso-punctatam ferente, de cujus structura
conferas excursum nostrum 1, hisce adjectum. Anthera est bilocel-
lata vel quadrilocellata. Antheræ ejusdem floris vel omnes introrsum,
seu centrum versus, dehiscunt, vel exteriores tantum, interioribus
tribus tum extrorsum, peripheriam versus, spectantibus (quod primus
observavit cl. R. Brownius).

Ordo staminum idem est, ac si verticilli binati vel ternati sepalorum

situs, sepalorum interiorum opponitur verticillo. Stamina hee, vel

anthere capitulo solito sagittato, conico, cordatove rariusye clavato
præditis, vel ex toto deest. Ubi deest, antheræ primi verticilli hujus
sectionis, qui tertius omnium, introrsum spectant, ubi adest, extrorsum
dehiscunt.

Numerus igitur normalis staminum in flore tetrasepalo est 8, in
hexasepalo 12; in exemplis tetrasepalis autem, quæ cognita habe-
mus, ordo staminum quartus, seu intimus, non evolvitur, quo fit, ut non
nisi hexandras species tetrasepalas invenias. In hexasepalis novem
perfecta existunt inter duodecim stamina, stamina quarti ordinis im-
perfecta sunt staminodia. Deficiente omnino secundá illå staminum
sectione tetrandri flores et hexandri proveniunt. Deficiente exteriori
sectione floris enneandri, triandrum vides florem.

Ubi loco limbi stamina nascuntur in flore hexasepalo enneandro,
numerus staminum ad 15 augetur, et in his denique, staminodiis
etiam quarti ordinis perfecte explicatis, 18, regulari progressu oriun-
tur stamina. Qus hunc numerum excedunt, evolutioni vagæ tri-
buenda.

17. Adest in omni flore laurino apparatus quidam partium glan-
dulis similium, que in plerisque geminz staminibus tertii ordinis
adjectæ, capitulum parvum, compressum, vel angulosum, figure
varie, reniformis, cordato-orbiculate etc., lutei coloris, superficie
glabra, exhibent, stipiteque vel magis minusve conspicuo gaudent,
vel omni stipite carentes sessiles dicuntur. Quando stipite (qui
semper brevis est) fulciuntur, singulo trium staminum tertii ordinis
ab utroque latere proxime accedunt, tubi perianthii orificio. ordine
suo imposite. Rarior autem hee occurrit glandularum (quas stami-
nodia geminata appellare placuit) sedes; in plerisque par glandu-
larum filamento staminis hujusce ordinis ad basin, vel supra basin,
vel magis superiorasversus ultra mediam usque eorum longitudinem
inhæret, stipite proprio tum sepe minimo vel nullo. Quas quidem
glandulas cum attentius contempleris, non omnino ejusdem esse ordi-
nis, ac dicta seriei tertiæ stamina, invenies, sed aliquanto magis a
centro remoti seu exterioris (quantumvis exiguo spatio) ordinis. Pro-
bantur hzc eo, quod glandulæ, etiamsi e latere egredi videantur fila-
menti, tamen tergo ejus, i. e. extrorsum, incumbant. Neque inter se
quidem singuli paris glandulas ejusdem ordinis esse puto, sed diversi
et alterni. Vidi etenim, ubi paullo majores sunt hæ glandulæ, unam
totam fere a tergo incumbentem filamento, alteram magis a latere
ejus positam, introrsum istud amplectentem.

Sex igitur adsunt in flore normali glandulæ geminatæ, eaque se-
cundæ staminum sectioni magis exteriora versus subalternoque situ
tribuendæ. In paucis accedunt nonnullæ aliæ glandule secundi vel
primi quoque ordinis staminibus, sed istæ tum neque geminatæ neque
conjunctze, sed proprii sui ordinis, et intervallis illorum respondentes.

18. Nec stamina esse, neque nectaria hæc corpuscula persuasum
est, etsi staminodia improprie dixerim. Stamina non esse probat situs
et status imperfectus, quem alium perfectiorem (i. e. stamina tertii
ordinis) sequi non interrupto ordine, evolutionis legibus est contra-
rium. Nectaria non sunt, quoniam nectar non fundunt; tum locus
etiam singularis est inter staminum series. Massa e meris cellulis
texitur irregularibus, granulis refertis et membrana communi obtectis.

Que mihi circa hec vero propius accedere videantur, exponam.
Peracto duplice perianthii staminumque prime sectionis cyclo, qua-
tuor (bis binis) verticillis complexo, nova quasi exoritur cyclorum
series, a perianthio novo incipiens. Hujus autem verticilli, utpote
communi ejusdem floris ambitu circumscripti et universali ejus evolu-
tione quasi absorpti, perfici non possunt, nec nisi primis lineis adum-
brati cernuntur. Quemadmodum autem in quibusdam, v. c. in 7e-
tranthera apetala s. Roxburghii, limbi partes in stamina mutata vide-
mus, sic iste novi limbi laciniæ, staminibus diversarum sectionum
interjectæ, nec stamina fieri, neque sepala, sed in laminas imperfectas
seu staminodia inferioris originis abire necesse est. Magis hzc etiam
arrident, si consideramus, novum inversumque in multis posthec
intrare staminum ordinem, cujus bini verticilli, ubi perficiuntur cum
limbo illo incompleto alios quatuor verticillos quasi floris interioris
exhibent, seu florem imperfecte hexandrum, vel, ubi interior ordo
deest, triandrum, qualis solus ex omnibus in Endiandræ genere
Browniano relinquitur.

"19. Flos itaque Laurinarum e maxime regularibus est, eademque
symmetricà lege constructus, disepali sint verticilli vel trisepali.
Tertius semper primo respondet verticillus, quartus autem secundo.
Abortus peripheriam versus ingruit.

20. Vel hermaphroditi sunt flores laurini, vel polygami, vel diclini,
et istorum quidem aliis feminei sexus rudimenta in masculo flore con-
cessa sunt, aliis omnino ademta. Femineo flore staminum vestigia
nunquam ex integro desunt, restant semper aliqua filamentorum in-
dicia et staminodia geminata. Pistillum, quantum observando assequi
potui, simplex, seu ex uno carpello constructum, in omnibus stylo
distincto et stigmate latiusculo lobulato instructum. Regulare æ-
quumque videtur carpellum, sed stylus in unum latus semper flexus
et stigma obliquum et rhaphe interna defectum præfinitum alterius
pluriumve ovariorum ejusdem verticilli produnt*. Uaum in per-
multis, quz dissecui, inveni ovulum, nec plura; idque a vertice
ovarii et parum ad latus conversum pendet, sed trophospermio a basi
adscendente alterique parieti pericerpii applicato in hunc locum at-
tollitur, minimeque autem rectå descendit caditve. Anatropicum est
ovulum, at vero inæquali magis extensione partium, quam verá cha-
laze ad alteram extremitatem migratione istorum evolutionem non
nisi imitari censeo. De his conferas excursum secundum.

21. Fructus Laurinarum monospermus est, vel Caryopsis, vel
Bacca, vel Drupat dicendus. Ubi siccioris est nature, tubo pe-
rianthii includitur vel sicco vel carnosulo. Fructus baccatus aut
tubo perianthii totove perianthio in cupulam mutato cingitur, aut

eidem in discum, integrum laciniisve appendiculatum converso, in- *

sidet, aut perianthio patulo persistente, nec vero increscente, circa
basin residuo fulcitur, aut denique nudo omnique fere perianthii ves-
tigio exuto pedunculo, magis minusve incrasstito inhæret. Color
carnis ruber, violaceus, niger, fuscus.

22. Seminis testa membranacea, chartacea, coriacea, cartilaginea,
ossea, intus rhaphe ramosà notata, extus carne fructus inducta; mem-
brana interna tenuis est. Hilum transversale, marginatum, superum
(quoad fructum) in parte angustiori seminis, cui exostomii vestigia,
forme papillæ, contigua. Perispermium nullum. Cotyledones vel
formæ seminis, semiovatæ, vel bis reflexæ, cavum seminis replentes,
peltatæ, i. e. collo embryonis non basi suá sed supra basin adnate,
parte petiolari brevissimå, lineam transversalem referente. Embryo
basi cotyledonum obtectus ; radicula supera, in plerisque plumulam
bifidam, collo calloso ceu valle ab ipsa discretam, æquans, acuta;
rarius plumula multo major et obtusa. Hypogæas esse cotyledones
e structura earum conjicio.

Corollaria.

23. Characterem maxime universalem LAURINA RUM, omnibusque
conformem et immotum exhibent: Distributio verticillorum Joris bis
alternans, anthere valvate, glandule geminate, carpelli et seminis
structura. Hee sola spectanti unum declarandum est et individuum
semper genus: Laurus.

24. Florem si accuratius penetras, anthere in oculos cadunt aliis
omnes introrsum dehiscentes, aliis non ita, sed tertii ordinis extrorsum.
Habes sane discrimen attentione dignum. Quod si primum eas Lau-
rinas, quarum omnes antheræ introrsum spectant, inter sese compara-
veris, haec invenies: Deesse his omnibus staminodia illa quarti ordinis,
rariusve eorum loco vera stamina perfici; inflorescentiam esse vel
umbellulam involucratam, vel gemmam squamatam ; sexum apud ple-
rasque inter distinctas plantas vel flores distribui.

Tum vero, ad alterum latus conversus, videbis ubicunque tertius
staminum ordo retro spectat, staminodia quarti ordinis vel distincta
vel etiam stamina prime et secunde seriei una cum his deficientia,
inflorescentiam paniculatam vel e dissoluta panicula cymulosam (spi-
catam in Cassyta), nec involucratam, sed minutis caducisque brac-
teolis inspersam, floresque communiter hermaphroditos. Notantur
igitur aut determinantur antherarum directione conformi vel oppositå

* Hec cum jam scripta essent, cel. Martius per litteras nunciavit, se in Lau-
rinis Brasilianis plura carpella observasse, saltem videri se talia vidisse.
+ Excursus II.

simul inflorescentize diverse, sexus diversa distributio; que si non
spernenda videbuntur, cum floris (partium fructificationis) discrimini
alterum vegetationis superioris (inflorescentiæ) discrimen respondeat,
cui omnium reliquarum partium concentus quidam facile discernen-
dus adsociatur, duo jam, genera dicas an sectiones, commendabis :
TETRANTHERAM et LAURUM (si velis servare nomen); illam ex an-
theris omnibus centro adversis, hanc ex antheris interioribus reversis
dignoscendam.

25. Porro autem antheras invenies utriusque harum sectionum
aliis esse bilocellatas, aliis quadrilocellatas. Et ea res quidem, cum
pridem a peritis historiæ plantarum viris sit ponderata, neque indigna
visa, cujus causá genera distinguantur, non vili pendenda erit, sed
examinanda, maximeque in animum revocandum; quanti sit anthe-
rarum hanc in familiam exstruendam vis et quam singulari viå pro-
creari ipse inter Laurinas videantur. Queeras fortasse, numne ma-
joris etiam æstimanda sit hac locellorum, quam illa, de qua sermo
fuit, directionis dehiscentiæ diversitas? Quod si ita esset, Laurinæ
omnes, quæ antheris bilocellatis gaudent, pluribus aliis partium tam
vegetantium quam procreantium proprietatibus secum magis, quam
cum reliquis, conjungi necesse esset. Verumtamen Cassyta illa,
Cuscutam aliquam referens et Cryptocarya, cujus fructus tubo pe-
rianthii obtegitur, et Laurus nobilis Lin., flore quaternario gaudens
pluribusque staminibus, et extra has aliæ quoque diversissimæ in-
dolis omniumque inflorescentiæ graduum species, gemmifloræ, um-
bellifloræ, spicifloræ, paniculatæ cet., ejusdem generis forent habendæ,
quibus evidentissime sequitur, maximi inter characteres generum
locellorum numerum non esse momenti sed inferioris. In utraque
autem, quas jam statuimus, sectione primaria antheras invenimus esse
aliis bilocellatas, aliis quadrilocellatas. Ex his quinque pridem jam
exposita referuntur genera maxime naturalia, videlicet Laurus R. Br.,
quee primæ nostræ sectionis, et ENDIANDRA, GYROCARPUS, CASSYTA,
CRYPTOCARYA secunde. Que quidem genera non modo ab aliis
sui ordinis, sed etiam inter sese differunt maxime: tubi calycis post
anthesin evolutione diverså, cui soli fructus quaedam ab universali
charactere declinatio consociatur, tum vero laciniarum vel persisten-
tium vel vario modo post anthesin discedentium indole, partium
floris numero tam absoluto quam relativo, staminodiorum figurá, inflo-
rescentiá, in diversissimis quibusdam generibus diversissimá, foliorum
aut defectu, aut, ubi adsunt, nervatione et consistentiå, gemmis deni-
que aut valvatim aut imbricatim squamulatis.

Indicia itaque prebere antherarum locellos (binos quaternosve)
generum nature convenientium patet, sed ad alia simul esse adver-
tendum que si suffragentur, probanda fore genera, si contradicant,
relinquenda.

26. His igitur regulis et veluti ducibus in LAURINARUM terra
peregrina usus sum omnibusque sedulo ab omni parte iterumque in-
vestigatis, plantas hujus ordinis omnes, characterum, quos supra
citavi, per gradus invalescentium aut declinantium diverso concentu
discedere in plura genera persuasum est tam vegetatione quam fruc-
tificatione congrua et ex earundem partium, levi ea quidem primo
adspectu, diversitate mox dignoscenda, tametsi habitus universalis
et partium foliacearum per omnem ordinem simplicitatem et simili-
tudinem minus atque in aliis plantarum familiis sub oculos cadat.

27. In hac autem sententia maxime confirmatus sum, cum viderem,
eosdem. characteres, quos principali illi, ex antherarum conversione
hausto, accedentes, Laurinas omnes in duas partes apprime naturales
dirimere supra demonstravimus, in his etiam, quæ utrisque subjecta
sunt, generibus dijudicandis primum locum tenere, et inter suos quo-
que limites variatos przecipuam illis notam, tanquam sigillum impri-
mere, quo relique omnes note, in unum collectæ, continentur.

Qui characteres, suo ordine, a superioribus ad inferiora progre-
diendo, hi sunt :

1. Antheræ bilocellatæ vel quadrilocellatæ.

2. Tubus perianthii fructum investiens aut revelans.

3. Tubi perianthii diversæ peracta anthesi mutationes, et formæ,
quibus sub fruétu persistens observatur. Fructus maturi substantia
ab hisce dependens.

4. Limbi, seu liberæ partis sepalorum, aut integri aut certæ ejusdem

partis, duratio vel ejusdem defluxus, structurå, i. e. suturå articulari,
præfinitus.

5. Numerus quaternarius vel senarius partium floris.

6. Staminum primæ vel secundæ divisionis abortus, aut completus,
aut alterius tantum eorundem ordinis.

7. Staminodiorum, imprimis geminatorum, frequentia solito major
et aliena eorum a typo distributio.

I. Inflorescentia, quantum intra limites sectionis cujusque supe-
riorum variatur. Heec inter characteres, a vegetatione derivandos,
primum tenet locum, et characteribus partium fructificantium 1 et 2
respondet.

II. Gemmatio, quam characteribus floralibus 3 et 4 æqualem duco.

III. Nervatio foliorum, et eorundem in ramis distributio, cum cha-
racteribus 5 et 6 partium floralium componendæ.

IV. Folia persistentia vel annuis vicibus cadentia.

28. Quibus præmonitis, tentaminis loco hanc propono Laurinarum
ordinis in sua genera distributionem.

De Laurinarum antheris.

Anthera quadrilocellata revera e duabus constat antheris, seu e
locellis quatuor, per paria conjunctivo communi connatis, quorum
duo inferiores plerumque majores magisque in medio distantes a
tergo paullo ultra locellos superiores adscendunt. Locelli superiores
magisque antici et contigui propria membrana gaudent, fineque
clauso in locellos inferiores oblique descendunt. In plurimis sutura
obliqua a tergo fines utriusque locelli indicat, ubi superior quisque
inferiori ab antica parte incumbit duplicemque ibidem producit
membranam ; paullo magis apicem versus, desinente inferioris locelli

De ovulo et fructu Laurinarum.

Germen parietibus gaudet crassis, carnosis. Funiculus ad alterum
latus ovarii ad apicem adscendens ; ovulum pendulum, anatropicum,
obovatum, membrana primà chartaceà. Peristomium juxta hilum.
Rhaphe in venas eleganter soluta, pallida, latere opposito descendit,
chalazam constituens hilo non perfecte oppositam; endostomium
superum.

Fructus maturus: bacca !—vel nucula, vel caryopsis, calycis ez
tubo indute. Hilum superum, margine tenui elevato cinctum, pa-
pill media carnosá coronatum, quam funiculus umbilicalis, a basi
fructus adscendens*), depressus, latus, sulculo testæ inhærens, cruri-
bus duobus angustis amplectitur. Exostomii papilliformis in semine
perfecto nullum ostiolum. Testa chartacea, coriacea, quandoque
membranacea: et tenuis, pallida, extus opaca, intus nitens, in cujus
pariete interiori, lateri, ubi funiculus foris adscendit, opposita, rhaphe
in plures ramulos venosos soluta, lata, pallida, ad dimidium fere de-
scendens in chalazam abit amplam: circularem, parum ultra extremi-
tatem inferiorem latioremque seminis excurrentem, obliquam igitur et
lateralem, lutei coloris; reliqua pars membrane interioris pallet, loco

,endostomii, hilo subjecti, maculam magnam chalazoideam orbicularem

formans. Embryo cavi seminis figuree, cotyledonibus crassis. intus
planis supra basin conjunctus. Radicula et plumula plerisque equales,
conice ; hec bifida. i

Particularia quedam.

1. In Sectione prima testa tenuior, chartacea, cum membrana in-
terna seminis connata.

2. In ALSEODAPHNE testa est tenuior, membrana interna læte fusca,
nitida. '

3. In Poryapknra rhaphe in venulas paucas soluta, chalazæ vesti-
gia obsoleta, sed umbilicus internus maculå luteå notatus.

4. In DoDECADENLA ovulo funiculus umbilicalis crassus, hilum
latum, cui exostomium tumidulum proxime adjectum ; rhaphe ad
extremitatem oppositam (inversam) adscendens.

5. In Tetranthera Roxburghii funiculi umbilicalis adscendentis
vestigia non observavi; ovulum et semen a vertice ipso recta pendere
videbantur. Rhaphes nulla vestigia; macula chalaziformis umbilici
interioris ; e regione opposita papilla minuta. An ovulum hujus ge-
neris vere orthotropicum ?

6. In Tetranthera sericea semen mucronatum. Caro baccz tenuis.
Testa seminis crassa, coriacea, alba fibris transversalibus, latere per-
via, qua caro nigrescens intrat et parietem internum strato tenui
nigrescente (membraná interna) investit. Membrana interna sub
apice oblique appensa, venà nigrà testam permeante.

7. Anatropia ovuli LAURINARUM ejusdem nature esse videtur ac
anatropia AMENTACEARUM, que secundum Mirbelii observationes ex
orthotropia primaria exoritur, cum vera basis interior ovuli, cui cha-
laza firmiter inhæret, incremento prevalente producta chalazam, ab
hilo dimotam, in partes oppositas vel suboblique aversas abripit.
Que quidem similitudo, ab observatione $ 5. suggesta, si forte exa-
mine, in recentiori statu instituendo, omnibus Laurinis communis esse
exhibeatur, haud male conveniret Laurinarum nature, in universum
ad Amentaceas tendenti.

* Argumento hoc est gravissimo, baccam, nec drupam appellandum esse
fructum Laurinarum, eumque differre tantum teste seu primi integumenti
spissitudine vel tenuitate. Namque ubi spissior est testa, pericarpii nuculam
esse arbitrati sunt, et membranam internam pro testa venditavere; quæ si ita
se haberent, semen adscendens vel erectum, neque pendulum, esset appellan-
dum, embryo autem intra semen inversus. Contra ea vero ubicunque testa
tenerior cum membrana interna magis coheret, baccam justo nomine fructum
appellavere. Gærtnerus fil. in tertio immortalis operis paterni volumine de
Persea, Borbonia cet. agens testam ubique loculamentum vel putamen, mem-
branam internam autem seminis integumentum appellavit.

Excursus II.
Affinitas.

Laurine Berberideis proxime sunt: floris symmetrià et numero
ternario, antherarum dehiscentiå, carpellorum abortu, relicto uno, ple-
rumque baccante.

Differunt Berberideæ a Laurinis : locello toto antherze a connectivo
secedente, secundo staminum biseriatorum ordine deficiente, glan-
dulis ubi adsunt, cum petalis connatis, seminibus pluribus adscen-
dentibus, albuminosis, embryone; in modo denique toto crescendi,
inflorescentiá, acrimoniá fructuum, cet.

De similitudine Amentacearum jam sermo fuit. Hæc autem affi-
nitas magis ad fructus et ovuli evolutionem respicit, quam ad uni-
versum partium floris concentum vel ad arborum utriusque familia
indolem generalem.

tibus vel omnino latentibus. Memoratu digna est figura horum
staminum, quæ, filamentis brevissimis crassisque prædita, staminodiis
tribus interioribus, in multis obviis, persimilia existunt, ut itaque
in isto flore stamina quasi ad ultimam gradum evolutionis dejecta et
ad angustissimum numerum redacta videantur.

plici modo solvi possunt: primo, cum statuas, eandem arborem non
solum foliis floribusque diversis, sed etiam corticis sapore, nunc ca-
ryophyllaceo nunc cinnamomeo esse præditam, quod sane legibus na-
ture non consentaneum ; secundo cum aliå ætate caryophyllum, aliá
autem cinnamomum olere posse concedas ; tertio denique, quod mihi

Observ. Cum Disputationem de Cinnamomo conscriberemus, ante
omnia id probare studebamus, Laurum, quam tunc temporis in hortis
plerisque Cinnamomi nomine venditabant, Laurum Cinnamomum
Linnei non esse, sed illam potius quam Laurum Cassiam declarave-
rant in libro, qui Botanical Magazine inscribitur, veram esse Laurum
Cinnamomum Linnei. Idque re verá sic esse, ut diximus, nunc extra
omne dubium positum est. Ab altera parte, cum ea, quam in hortis
L. Cinnamomum appellare consueverant, preestantissimi odoris et sa-
poris species, Lauro, *Karua" a Rheedio dicte, satis similis esse
videretur, nobisque persuasum esset, hanc speciem hortensem ex
India orientali ad nos pervenisse, collectis omnibus, que veteres et
recentiores, presertim a Linnei temporibus de Cassia tradidere, hanc
Linneanam Laurum, Cassiam dictam, ob synonymon Rheedianum,
eandem esse ac illam quam diximus, in hortis obviam, statuentes,
lapsi sumus. Patet enim ex iis, que docte cl. Hamiltonius de ea re
disseruit in Actis Linnæanæ Societatis, XIII. 2. p. 550 sqq., Karuam
Rheedii, et Laurum Cassiam eorum qui hune sequuntur, varietatem
esse Lauri Cinnamomi Lin. seu Cinnamomi Zeylanici angustifoliam,
in plagis continentalibus Indiæ orientalis non tam spontaneam, quam
efferatam et quasi sponte nascentem. Qua quidem multis exemplis,
a Wallichio advectis, satis superque demonstrantur ipsisque verbis
Rheedianis confirmantur. Neque ullum ejus speciei, quam * Laurum
Cassiam Linnei” l. c. appellavimus, exemplum inter plantas Wal-
lichianas exstat; habemus autem sicca specimina, a cl. Blumio e Java
allata, quibus patet, hanc speciem, e China in Javam delatam, veram
esse Cinnamomi chinensis, ab Hamiltonio 1. c. laudati et perperam a
Lauro Cubeba Lour. derivati matrem. Quæ cum ita sint, veterum
scriptorum ante Linneum de Cassia lignea sententiæ pleræque dubiæ
fiunt semperque manebunt, cum nemini constet, utrum de Cinnamomo
e China inter merces allato, an potius de Cinnamomi Malabariæ in-
digene specie sermo sit. Linnei autem Laurus Cassia, et omnium
eorum, qui a Rheedio hausere, cum var. y Cinnamomi, quod Zeylani-
cum dixi, merito conjungitur. Novum igitur nomen invenire necesse
est præstanti illi Sinensium arbori cinnamomiferæ, quam recentiores
plurimis novisque dubiis vexaverunt. Nobis erit:

I have found this tree nowhere except at a place called Balajee, in the great valley of Nipal, where it attains a very
large size. Together with Blackwellia spiralis, B. fætida (Ludia fætida Roxb.) and B. propinqua (a species found in
Penang), our tree belongs to the same genus with Loureiro's Astranthus, according to the observations of the illus-
trious author of the Botanical Appendix to Tuckey's Expedition to Congo. The three-celled anther of which
Loureiro speaks, is nothing else than an ordinary bilocular anther, of which the globular cells are rather more distant
towards the top than at the base, in consequence of a slight dilatation of the apex of the filament, giving the
interstice somewhat the appearance of a third cell.

Habitat in convalli Napaliæ ad Sankoo adque cacumen montis Sheopur, altitudine pm 6,000 ad 10,000.
Floret mensibus Aprilis et Maii; fructus maturos profert Octobre.

Although a figure of this Magnolia has been already published in my Tentamen Fiora SE I venture to add
a plate of it in the present work, as the means which I had in India were very inadequate for doing justice to this truly
superb tree. It grows in great abundance at a place called Sankoo, in the great valley of Nipal, and sparingly on
Mount Sheopur, towards its summit. I have not met with it anywhere else; nor have Lever heard of its growing
in any of the other mountainous parts of Hindustan. It is in full blossom in April and May, at which period it is impos-
sible to behold a more magnificent object. ‘The flowers are produced in vast numbers ; they are very beautiful, large,
and fragrant, of a yellowish white colour, with the apex of the petals pink, and the reflexed leaves of the calyx
brownish red, and elegantly reticulated with pale green nerves and veins. The capsules are purple, and disposed in
large, erect, oblong cones, from which the scarlet seeds hang down in all directions, being suspended on delicate
mu threads. “The leaves are dark green and leathery, and form a very umbrageous crown; in winter, from
November until February, they fall off, leaving the branches quite naked. |

The tree attains a vast size, its trunk frequently measuring four or five feet in dikreèten If it could be. brought
from the elevated region in which it grows on Sheopur, it would no doubt admit of being acclimated in England ; an
event. which its beauty renders extremely desirable, and which I hope to live to accomplish. "The wood is pale yellow,
and close-grained,

For a full description of the tree I must refer to the work quoted before.

For the introduction of this most beautiful species of Bignomia, the Honourable Company's Botanic Garden is
indebted to Charles Telfair, Esq. of the Mauritius, one of the most amiable and excellent of men, in whom during
twenty years I have had the happiness of possessing an intimate and esteemed friend, whose name will always rank
very high among the most liberal and most enlightened benefactors of Indian botany and horticulture. The tree is
a native of the Mauritius, originally perhaps of Madagascar: in Bengal, where it thrives luxuriantly, it forms a
small but truly ornamental tree, on account of its flowers and foliage, the former of which are exquisitely fragrant.
It has also been introduced into the hothouses in England, but as yet, I believe, it has not flowered here.

This truly beautiful plant is so perfectly like Dr. Buchanan's Epidendrum moschatum, figured and described by
him in Symes's Embassy to Ava, that I cannot distinguish it, except as a variety, differing only in the colour of its
flowers. It was sent to the Calcutta Garden by the late Mr. Smith from the mountainous tracts bordering on Sillet.
The flowers are of a yellowish pink colour, and rather larger than those of Dendrobium moschatum, which I have seen
in great perfection in the garden of my highly esteemed friend Dr. Carey, at Serampur, sixteen years ago, and in
the Botanic Garden at Calcutta, where it was introduced by that gentleman.

I perfectly agree with my friend Prof. Lindley, (Genera and Species of Orchid. Plants, p. 83, under No. 37,)
in considering Dr. Hooker's Dendrobium Calceolaria, described and figured in the Exotic Botany of the latter eminent
botanist, as specifically the same as the Pegu plant; it is in fact the same variety as mine, although its flowers par-
take in a greater degree of the tessellated structure of the original species. I was not so fortunate as to meet with
Dr. Hamilton's plant during my tour through the Burmese countries.

I am indebted for the description of this and the following plant (Ulmus lanceefolia), and for the drawings from
which the engravings have been made, to the valuable collection made by the late Dr. Roxburgh, and deposited in
the library of the Honourable East India Company. Dr. Roxburgh says that the bark possesses much tannin, and is
reckoned by the natives of Sillet the best they are acquainted with for the purpose of tanning.
